CCL recognises the unique role of culture to influence new ways of being, doing and thinking, and supports creative professionals to apply these abilities to the climate challenge through a programme of events, training programmes and policy labs.

Our second international Creative Climate Leadership training courses will take place in Slovenia. It will be facilitated by Julie’s Bicycle, a UK charity with almost ten years experience working on environmental issues in the cultural sector, and PiNA, a sustainable development NGO working in Slovenia and across the EU.

The deadline for applications to the training course is Monday 31st July 2017.

The course costs €750. This fee includes tuition, accommodation and food. Participants are expected to pay for their own travel. There are a limited number of spaces available at €350. These are only open to employees of organisations with an annual turnover of less than €50,000 working in the fields of environment and culture. Participants paying this reduced rate are still expected to pay for their own travel.

There are a few free places and travel grants available for freelance (self-employed) applicants. Applicants should indicate on the application form whether they would like to be considered for this support.
